AB An  intracranial  hemorrhage  (ICH)  can  occur  in  term  and  preterm  infants.  An  ICH  occurring  in  term  infants  tends  to  be  subdural,  subarachnoid,  or  subtentorial  and  is  most  related  to  birth  trauma,  hypoxic-ischemic  events,  coagulopathies  (eg,  thrombophilias  or  thrombocytopenia),  and  undetermined  causes.  The  most  common  ICH  in  preterm  infants  is  bleeding  from  the  subependymal  germinal  matrix  and  may  result  in  intraventricular  or  periventricular  hemorrhage,  either  of  which  can  potentially  cause  hemorrhagic  infarctions  of  the  white  matter.  This  chapter  reviews  the  following  clinical  conditions:  subdural  hemorrhage  (SDH),  epidural  hemorrhage,  subarachnoid  hemorrhage  (SAH),  intracerebral  parenchymal  hemorrhage,  intracerebellar  parenchymal  hemorrhage  (ICPH),  and  germinal  matrix  and  intraventricular  hemorrhage  (GM/IVH).
